	It looks a bit like the back side of IBM's Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY, an Eero Saarinen building.

	Hmmmm. A structure with no architectural merit. Motel City, Arizona? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Holiday apartments in Spain? Again the apparent lack of architectural detail might be a clue.

	While Solar Eagle's driving range does look remarkably like the image, I'd created this drawing with Fasano Boa Vista in mind. From the hotel: "Located in the Fazenda Boa Vista – only one hour drive from the city of São Paulo — the hotel designed by Isay Weinfeld brings Fasano’s sophistication into a more laid-back countryside environment. The project promotes the integration between the architectural lines and elements of nature providing comfort and wellbeing."
